Abstract. This work presents the differential charmonia production cross sections
in high energy p+p collisions calculated using NRQCD formalism. The NRQCD
formalism, factorizes the quarkonia production cross sections in terms of short distance
QCD cross sections and long distance matrix elements (LDMEs). The short distance
cross sections are calculated in terms of perturbative QCD and LDMEs are obtained
by fitting the experimental data. Measured transverse momentum distributions of χc,
ψ(2S) and J/ψ in p +p collisions at√s = 1.8, 1.96 TeV and in p+p collisions at
√s =
7, 8 and 13 TeV are used to constrain LDMEs. The feed-down contribution to each
state from the higher states are taken into account. The formalism provides a very
good description of the data in a wide energy range. The values of LDMEs are used
to predict the charmonia cross sections in p+p collisions at 13 and 5 TeV in kinematic
bins relevant for the LHC detectors.

1. Introduction
The quarkonia (QQ) have provided useful tools for probing both perturbative and
nonperturbative aspects of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) eversince the discovery
of J/ψ resonance [1, 2]. The Quarkonia states are qualitatively different from most other
hadrons since the velocity v of the heavy constituents is small allowing a non-relativistic
treatment of bound states. The quarkonia yields are modified in the heavy ion collision
due to QGP and cold nuclear matter effects which has been demonstrated for J/ψ and
Υ in PbPb collisions [3, 4, 5]. The ratios of excited to ground state quarkonia yields
are considered as better probes of QGP since the cold matter effects, which are similar
for the ground and excited states, are expected to cancel in the ratio. At the LHC,
the production of charmonium (J/ψ, ψ(2S)) and bottomonium (Υ(1S),Υ(2S),Υ(3S) )
states has been studied in PbPb collisions at√sNN = 2.76 TeV and
√sNN = 5.02 TeV
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11] affirming the importance of quarkonia measurements in heavy ion
collisions. The heavy quarks due to their high mass (mc ∼ 1.6 GeV/c2, mb ∼ 4.5
GeV/c2), are produced in initial partonic collisions with sufficiently high momentum
transfers. Thus the heavy quark production can be treated perturbatively [12, 13]. The
formation of quarkonia out of the two heavy quarks is a nonperturbative process and
is treated in terms of different models [14, 15, 16]. Most notable models for quarkonia
production are the color-singlet model (CSM), the color-evaporation model (CEM), the
non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization approach, and the fragmentation-function
approach.
In the CSM [17, 18, 19, 20], it is assumed that the QQ pair that evolves into the
quarkonium is in a color-singlet state and has the same spin and angular-momentum
as the quarkonium. The production rate of quarkonium state is related to the
absolute values of the color-singlet QQ wave function and its derivatives, evaluated
at zero QQ separation. These quantities can be extracted by comparing calculated
quarkonium decay rates in the CSM with the experimental measurements. The CSM
was successful in predicting quarkonium production rates at relatively low energy [21]
but, at high energies, very large corrections appear at next-to-leading order (NLO) and
next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in αs [22, 23, 24]. The NRQCD factorization
approach comprises the color-singlet model, but also includes color-octet states. In the
CEM [25, 26, 27], it is assumed that the produced QQ pair evolves into a quarkonium
if its invariant mass is less than the threshold for producing a pair of open-flavor
heavy mesons. The nonperturbative probability for the QQ pair to evolve into a
quarkonium state is fixed by comparison with the measured production cross section
of that quarkonium state. The CEM calculations provide good descriptions of the CDF
data for J/ψ, ψ(2S), and χc production at√s = 1.8 TeV [27] but it fails to predict the
quarkonium polarization.
In the NRQCD factorization approach [14], the probability for a QQ pair to evolve
into a quarkonium is expressed as matrix elements of NRQCD operators in terms of
the heavy-quark velocity v in the limit v � 1. This approach takes into account the
3
complete structure of the QQ Fock space, which is spanned by the state n = 2S+1L[a]J
with spin S, orbital angular momentum L, total angular momentum J , and color
multiplicity a = 1 (color-singlet), 8 (color-octet). The QQ pairs which are produced
at short distances in color-octet (CO) states, evolve into physical, color-singlet (CS)
quarkonia by emitting soft gluons nonperturbatively. In the limit v → 0, the CSM
is recovered in the case of S-wave quarkonia. The short distance cross sections can be
calculated within the framework of perturbative QCD (pQCD). The long distance matrix
elements (LDME) corresponding to the probability of the QQ state to convert to the
quarkonium can be estimated by comparison with the experimental measurements. The
leading order (LO) NRQCD gives a good description of J/ψ yields at Tevatron RHIC
and LHC energies [28, 29, 30]. The NLO corrections to color-singlet J/ψ production
have been investigated in Refs. [23, 31]. The NLO corrections increase the total color-
singlet J/ψ cross section by a factor of two, although at high pT the corrections can
enhance the production by two-three orders of magnitude. [31]. The NLO corrections to
J/ψ production via S-wave color octet (CO) states (1S[8]0
3S[8]1 ) are studied in Ref. [32]
and the corrections to pT distributions of both J/ψ yield and polarization are found
to be small. In Refs. [33], NLO corrections for χcJ hadroproduction are also studied.
Several NLO calculations are performed to obtain the polarization and yield of J/ψ.
The J/ψ polarization presents a rather confusing pattern [34, 35, 36, 37]. Authors in
Ref. [35] extracted leading color-octet LDMEs through a global fit to experimental data
of unpolarized J/ψ production in pp, pp, ep, γγ, and e+e− collisions. The extracted
LDMEs give excellent description of the unpolarized J/ψ yields but fail to reproduce
the polarization measured at CDF [38]. In another study [36], it is shown that the
measured hadroproduction cross sections and the CDF polarization measurement [38]
can be simultaneously described by NRQCD at NLO. The works of Ref. [39, 40] and
Ref. [41] present NLO-NRQCD calculations of J/ψ yields. In both the works, the set
of CO LDMEs fitted to pT distributions measured at HERA and CDF are used to
describe the pT distributions from RHIC and the LHC. The fitted LDMEs of Ref. [39]
and Ref. [41] are incompatible with each other. A recent work [42] gives calculations for
both the yields and polarizations of charmonia at the Tevatron and the LHC where the
LDMEs are obtained by fitting the Tevatron data only.
Recently, the LHCb measurements of ηc production [43] is investigated from
different points of views by several groups using NRQCD formalism [44, 45, 46]. Ref. [44]
considered the ηc measurement as a challenge of NRQCD while Ref. [45] shows that
the LHCb measurement results in a very strong constraint on the upper bound of the
color-octet LDME of J/ψ. Refs. [46] obtains the color-singlet LDME for ηc by fitting
the experiment data to get good description of ηc production. The prompt double
heavy quarkonium production should be a more sensitive testing ground for NRQCD
factorization. The experiments at LHC recently published the measurement of double
J/ψ production in proton-proton collision at√s = 7, 8 and 13 TeV [47, 48, 49, 50]. Full
NLO calculations including all color singlet and color octet contributions for this process
in the NRQCD framework are not fully established yet. Authors in Ref. [51] showed
4
that the LO calculations of the prompt double J/ψ production by NRQCD formalism
describes the data only qualitatively. Authors in Ref. [52] present the NLO calculations
for the color-singlet channel which describe the measured LHCb cross section reasonably
well, but fail to reproduce the CMS measurements. The complicated situation suggests
that, further study and phenomenological test of NRQCD is still an urgent task.
With the LHC running for several years we now have very high quality quarkonia
production data in several kinematic regions up to very high transverse momentum
which could be used to constrain the LDMEs. In this paper, we use CDF data
[53, 55, 56, 54] along with new LHC data [57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65] to constrain
the LDMEs. The feed-down contribution to each state from the higher states are taken
into account. These new LDMEs are then used to predict the J/ψ and ψ(2S) cross-
section at 13 TeV and 5 TeV for the kinematical bins relevant to LHC detectors.
The NLO calculations are still evolving and thus we use LO calculations in
this work. The values of fitted LDMEs with LO formulations are always useful
for straightforward predictions of quarkonia cross section and for the purpose of a
comparison with those obtained using NLO formulations. We have given an estimate of
uncertainties in the LDMEs due to enhancement of color-singlet J/ψ cross-section by a
factor of three expected from NLO corrections.
2. Quarkonia Production in p+p collisions
The NRQCD formalism provides a theoretical framework for studying the heavy
quarkonium production. The dominant processes in the production of heavy mesons
ψ are g+ q → ψ+ q, q+ q → ψ+ g and g+ g → ψ+ g. We represent these processes by
a+ b→ ψ+X, where a and b are the light incident partons. The invariant cross-section
for the production of a heavy meson ψ can be written in a factorized form as
Ed3σψ
d3p=
∑a,b
∫ ∫dxa dxbGa/p(xa, µ
2F )Gb/p(xb, µ
2F )
s
π
dσ
dt× δ(s+ t+ u−M2), (1)
where Ga/p(Gb/p) is the distribution function (PDF) of the incoming parton a(b) in the
incident proton, which depends on the momentum fraction xa(xb) and the factorization
scale µF . The parton level Mandelstam variables s, t, and u can be expressed in terms
of xa, xb as
s =xa xb s
t =M2 − xa√smT e
−y
u =M2 − xb√smT e
y,
(2)
where√s being the total energy in the centre-of-mass, y is the rapidity and pT is the
transverse momentum of the QQ pair. The mass of heavy meson is represented by M
and mT is the transverse mass defined as m2T = p2T +M2. Writing down s+t+u−M2 = 0
5
and solving for xb, we obtain
xb =1√s
xa√smT e
−y −M2
xa√s−mT ey
. (3)
The double differential cross-section upon pT and y then is obtained as

where the minimum value of xa is given by
xamin =1√s
√smT e

. (5)
The parton level cross-section dσ/dt is defined as [14]
dσ
dt=dσ
dt(ab→ QQ(2S+1LJ) +X)ML(QQ(2S+1LJ)→ ψ). (6)
The short distance contribution dσ/dt(ab → QQ(2S+1LJ) + X) corresponds to the
production of a QQ pair in a particular color and spin configuration can be calculated
within the framework of perturbative QCD (pQCD). The long distance matrix elements
(LDME) ML(QQ(2S+1LJ) → ψ) corresponds to the probability of the QQ state to
convert to the quarkonium wavefunction and can be estimated by comparison with
experimental measurements. The short distance invariant differential cross-section is
given bydσ
dt(ab→ QQ(2S+1LJ) +X) =
|M|2
16πs2, (7)
where |M|2 is the Feynman squared amplitude. We use the expressions for the short
distance CS cross-sections given in Refs. [66, 67, 68] and the CO cross-sections given in
Refs. [69, 70, 71]. The CTEQ6M [72] parametrization is used for parton distribution
functions.
The LDMEs scale with a definite power of the relative velocity v of the heavy quarks
inside QQ bound states. In the limit v << 1, the production of quarkonium is based
on the 3S[1]1 and 3P
[1]J (J = 0,1,2) CS states and 1S
[8]0 , 3S
[8]1 and 3P
[8]J CO states. The
differential cross section for the direct production of J/ψ can be written as the sum of
these contributions,
dσ(J/ψ) = dσ(QQ([3S1]1))ML(QQ([3S1]1)→ J/ψ)
+ dσ(QQ([1S0]8))ML(QQ([1S0]8)→ J/ψ)
+ dσ(QQ([3S1]8))ML(QQ([3S1]8)→ J/ψ)
+ dσ(QQ([3P0]8))ML(QQ([3P0]8)→ J/ψ)
+ dσ(QQ([3P1]8))ML(QQ([3P1]8)→ J/ψ)
+ dσ(QQ([3P2]8))ML(QQ([3P2]8)→ J/ψ)
+ · · ·
(8)
6
The dots represent contribution of terms at higher powers of v. The contributions
from the CO matrix elements in Eq. 8 are suppressed by v4 compared to the CS matrix
elements.
For the case of the p-wave bound states χcJ (χc0, χc1 and χc2), the color-singlet
state QQ[3PJ ]1 and the color-octet state QQ[3S1]8 contribute to the same order in v
(v5) because of the angular momentum barrier for the p−wave states, and hence both
need to be included. The χc differential cross section thus can be written as
dσ(χcJ) = dσ(QQ([3PJ ]1))ML(QQ([3PJ ]1)→ χcJ)
+ dσ(QQ([3S1]8))ML(QQ([3S1]8)→ χcJ)
+ · · ·(9)
The prompt J/ψ production at LHC energies consists of direct J/ψ production from
the initial parton-parton hard scattering and the feed-down contributions to the J/ψ
from the decay of heavier charmonium states ψ(2S), χc0, χc1 and χc2. The relevant
branching fractions are given in the Table 1 [73]. The prompt ψ(2S) has no significant
feed-down contributions from the higher mass states.

χc1 0.344
χc2 0.195
The expressions and the values for the color-singlet operators can be found
in [70, 69, 74] which are obtained by solving the non-relativistic wavefunctions. The CO
operators can not be related to the non-relativistic wavefunctions of QQ since it involves
a higher Fock state and thus measured data is used to constrain them. The color-singlet
contributions along with their calculated values and color-octet contributions to be fitted
are written below for the prompt J/ψ.

The mass of the charm quark is taken as mc = 1.6 GeV. The short distance cross sections
dσ(QQ([1S0]8)) and dσ(QQ([3PJ ]8)) have very similar pT dependence and due to this
reason the transverse momentum distribution is sensitive only to a linear combination
of their LDMEs. Following the Ref. [69, 28] we fit a linear combination
ML(QQ([1S0]8, [3P0]8)→ ψ) =
ML(QQ([1S0]8)→ ψ)

3. Results and Discussions
As discussed in the last section there are two free parameters (ML(cc([3S1]8 →J/ψ)), ML(cc([1S0]8, [
3P0]8) → J/ψ)) for J/ψ, two (ML(cc([3S1]8 → ψ(2S))),
ML(cc([1S0]8, [3P0]8)→ ψ(2S))) for ψ(2S) and one (ML(cc([3S1]8)→ χc0)) for χcJ to be
obtained from the experiments. The measured yields of χcJ from the following datasets
are used to obtain color-octet matrix elements for χcJ
(i) CDF results at√S = 1.8 TeV [53].
(ii) ATLAS results at√S = 7 [61].
(iii) CMS results at√S = 7 TeV [59].
(iv) LHCb results at√S = 7 TeV [65].

with a χ2/dof = 2.54.
Here the first error is due to fitting and the second error is obtained by enhancing
the CS cross section 3 times. It is due to the fact that NLO corrections enhance the
total color-singlet J/ψ production by a factor of 2 [31]. The NLO corrections to J/ψ
production via S-wave color octet (CO) states (1S[8]0
3S[8]1 ) are found to be small Ref. [32].
To fit the remaining 2 parameters of J/ψ we use the combined fit for the following

The new high energy LHC data require larger value of (ML(cc([3S1]8)→ χc0)) to fit the
data.
Table 3 shows ψ(2S) LDMEs extracted in present analysis along with the results
from other works. All the calculations are at LO in αs. The calculations in
Ref. [69, 29, 28] use only CDF data to fit the LDMEs while the Ref. [30] uses CDF
and LHC data at mid-rapidity. In our analysis we use data from CDF [55, 56] and
LHC data in mid rapidity [57, 58, 60] as well as LHC data in forward rapidity [62],
both the datasets covering a much wider pT range. Our value of matrix element
ML(cc([3S1]8 → ψ(2S))) is similar with other analysis. The value of linear-combination,
ML(cc([1S0]8, [3P0]8) → ψ(2S)), varies significantly from 0.0022 to 0.01246 between
different analysis. As it can be seen from Table 3, the high energy LHC data require
larger value of ML(cc([1S0]8, [3P0]8)→ ψ(2S)).
Table 4 shows J/ψ LDMEs extracted in present analysis along with the results from
other works. All the calculations except Ref. [39] are at LO in αs. The calculations in
Ref. [69, 29, 28] use only CDF data to fit the LDMEs while Ref. [30] uses CDF, RHIC
and LHC data at mid-rapidity. In our analysis, we use data from CDF [55, 56] and
LHC data in mid rapidity [57, 58, 60] as well as LHC data in forward rapidity [63, 64],
both the datasets covering a much wider pT range. The value of the matrix element
ML(cc([3S1]8 → J/ψ)) is different in different analysis. The large error present on
ML(cc([3S1]8 → J/ψ)) in Ref. [30] is significantly improved by our simultaneous fitting of
several datasets. The value of linear-combination, ML(cc([1S0]8, [3P0]8) → J/ψ), varies
significantly from 0.0114 to 0.06384 (our value) between different analysis at LO. The
NLO analysis [39] does not fit the linear combination but fit both ML(cc([1S0]8 → J/ψ))
and ML(cc([3P0]8 → J/ψ))) LDMEs independently and their values are given as
0.0450±0.0072 and -0.0121±0.0035 respectively . The value of ML(cc([1S0]8, [3P0]8) →
J/ψ) is very small for Ref. [39] because of the negative value of ML(cc([3P0]8 → J/ψ)).
17
We use our newly constrained CO LDMEs shown in equation 15 to predict the J/ψ
cross-section at 13 TeV and 5 TeV for the kinematical bins relevant to LHC detectors.
Figure 8 shows the NRQCD calculations of production cross section of J/ψ in p+p
collisions as a function of transverse momentum at√s = 13 TeV. Figure 9 is same
as Fig. 8 but at√s = 5 TeV. Both the figures give calculations in the kinematic bins
relevant for (a) CMS, ATLAS and (b) ALICE, LHCb detectors at LHC. For the J/ψ
meson all the relevant contributions from higher mass states are also shown.
4. Summary
We have presented NRQCD calculations for the differential production cross sections of
prompt J/ψ and prompt ψ(2S) in p+p collisions. For the J/ψ meson, all the relevant
contributions from higher mass states are estimated. Measured transverse momentum
distributions of ψ(2S), χc and J/ψ in p +p collisions at√s = 1.8, 1.96 TeV and in p+p
collisions at 7, 8 and 13 TeV are used to constrain LDMEs. The calculations for prompt
J/ψ and prompt ψ(2S) are compared with the measured data at Tevatron and LHC.
The formalism provides very good description of the data in wide energy range. The
values of LDMEs are used to predict the charmonia cross sections in p+p collisions at
13 and 5 TeV in kinematic bins relevant for LHC detectors. We compare the LDMEs
for charmonia obtained in this analysis with the results from earlier works. At high pT ,
the color singlet contribution is very small and thus the LHC data in large pT range
help to constrain the relative contributions of different colour octet contributions. The
high energy LHC data require a smaller value of the LDME ML(cc([3S1]8 → ψ)) and
a larger value for the combination ML(cc([1S0]8, [3P0]8) → ψ) of LDMEs. In summary,
we present a comprehensive lowest-order analysis of hadroproduction data, including
very recent LHC data. The values of fitted LDMEs will be useful for predictions of
quarkonia cross section and for the purpose of a comparison with those obtained using
NLO formulations.
